"When a man's dream is too grand, the line between ambition and obsession blurs," Phantom said, his voice echoing in Rattan's mind. "His desire to reach that goal at all costs becomes the only thing that matters, and the world, everyone and everything in it, becomes nothing more than tools to be used."
In the relentless pursuit of a grand dream, one might take any path necessary to reach it. They may find themselves consumed by a hunger for more, even before their initial dream is achieved. This is when ambition blinds a person, and they become "the spotlight."
Before understanding his true nature, Phantom had acted on his human instincts, reaching out to guide ambition, hoping to keep it pure and good. But once he let go and simply observed, he saw both the beauty and the ugliness of it.
